"Influence"
This work is created in a surrealist style as a reflection of the inner conflicts of the human soul.
In "Influence," the side of a person that, from the depths of their desires, strives toward evil is depicted — toward the atmosphere of deception and self-delusion. It represents the soul’s struggle, existing within a spectrum of overlapping facets.
Every line, every color embodies the multilayered nature of humanity, where good and evil coexist within the same being. The painting captures the moment when a person surrenders to darkness, serving evil. Yet, just as light inevitably follows darkness, the soul never remains in shadow forever.
A moment of awareness eventually comes — cleansing and illuminating — when one sees their own shadow and strives to emerge from it.
This work reminds us that two forces live within us, and only the light of self-awareness can cleanse the darkness of our soul.
